SWAP - @fartstorm VS @alienmeatsack - Expired E6 Battle

Another mind bending film swap between myself and @fartstorm, this is a roll of very expired 3M Imation color slide film rated at 1000 ISO. I had wondered what it would look like when processed as E-6 since we'd done it cross-processed already. So I shot over his frames and it stat for months while I saved up enough slide film to make mixing up my E-6 kit worth the trouble. This past weekend I finally did so. The initial positives were so light that I thought I'd not get anything off of them, but I was wrong. #Silverfast to the rescue! Thanks to it's adjustment capabilities, I was able to bring the images out of the film. And these very Lomography feeling shots are the result of our labors. It was so long ago I have no idea what camera I used, but maybe @fartstorm remembers on his end. Enjoy.

    @bloomchen Thanks! The best guess (based on the pencil marks on the handwritten sticker) for expiry date on this stuff is 1982. Though that could be when it was rolled. High ISO slide film degrades pretty quick.

    @bloomchen @fartstorm Yeah we figured the fact that it works at all was amazing. He got some good stuff out of it cross processing it. This E-6 run was as far as I know the first time this film had been done in the correct chemicals and the film was nearly clear when I got done. Stilll, totally worth the effort and having to do heavy adjustments to it to get the interesting results we got!
